My Baking Journey

Le Petit Four-Welcome to my blog. I am keen on baking my own pastries as I find those in the bakeries and supermarkets unhealthy and laden with transfats. My teenage son is always hungry (aren't they all) and I am unable to find any suitably healthy snacks; thus venturing into this delightful task of baking.
